Chapter 1709 Preparing for the Afterlife

Chapter 1808 Preparing for funeral arrangements

She thought that her mother's insomnia and arrhythmia were all related to this incident.

So, was it her fault that ultimately caused her mother to pass away? It was she who gave her mother hope, but ultimately led to her despair.

It caused physical damage and required medicine to maintain sleep. Long-term use made her heart unable to bear it, leading to sudden death.

"Mom... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Duan Shumin wanted to rush in, but Duan Siye accompanied her into the emergency room to see her mother.

Duan Siye looked at his mother, his eyes filled with tears, and he bit his lip. At this moment, his heart tightened and he was in extreme pain.

Duan Deliang also came in. In this matter, his wife's death seemed to have a cause, but it also seemed to be an irresistible fate.

However, the person has passed away, and all cause and effect have dispersed.

After hearing the news of Song Meilan's death, Duan Shuxian drove him to the hospital regardless of his physical inconvenience.

At this moment, Song Meilan had entered the morgue, and Mr. Duan came over to take a last look at her.

Duan Shuxian also came in crying. Duan Shumin knelt on the ground, facing the direction of Song Meilan, her head buried very low, and there was a pool of tears on the ground.

Duan Siye was supporting his father. What was originally a good dinner was missing one person.

Everyone stayed in the hospital until early morning. Duan Shumin's grief and physical and mental self-blame caused her to faint. Duan Siye sent her to the nursing ward, and Li Yu and Duan Shuxian came to take care of her.

No matter how sad Duan Deliang is, he can't let his wife stay there forever at this time, so he needs to cheer up and arrange funeral arrangements.

Duan Deliang must be old after all. Half of his hair turned gray overnight, and this matter still needs to be handled by the young Duan Siye. Even though he is also in pain, this is the last thing he can do for his mother. Something happened.

In the ward, Li Yu had to go out to take care of Mr. Duan again. He was old and had stayed up all night. He was haggard and sad, but he couldn't let anything happen to him.

In the ward, Duan Shuxian was the only one looking after Duan Shumin who fainted. At this moment, her heart was filled with self-blame and guilt.

She thought of the unhappy breakup at Duan's house last time, and wondered if that time also aggravated her eldest aunt's condition.

Duan Shumin woke up slowly. She opened her eyes, her eyes were swollen from crying, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her whole body became extremely haggard.

When she saw Duan Shuxian by her side, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Duan Shuxian took a piece of paper from the side and handed it to her, "Brother Si Ye has already prepared the funeral arrangements for my eldest aunt."

Duan Shuxian was infected and tears fell silently.

Duan Shumin covered her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly murmured, "I killed my mother, I killed her."

Duan Shuxian's tearful eyes looked at her in astonishment, wondering why she said that.

"If my desire wasn't so strong, if I didn't keep mentioning the future I want in front of my mother, she wouldn't be nervous, wouldn't be awake all night, and wouldn't be eager to realize it for me." Duan Shumin at this moment , there is no one to talk to, and Duan Shuxian is the only person she can talk to.

"Sister Min, don't blame yourself." Duan Shuxian comforted her with choked sobs.

Duan Shumin shook her head, "I'm not blaming myself, but the fact is that I killed my mother. I knew that it was impossible for me to marry Xi Jingchen, but I created a belief in my mother that I could definitely marry him, so that My mother was proud of me. She went around to inquire about it. She looked for opportunities with the wives of officials in the political circles to let me get close to him. She did so many things for me. "

Duan Shuxian was stunned. Of course she didn't know that in private, her eldest aunt was so concerned about her cousin, and she was still going to Xi Jingchen.

"It was my overestimation that hurt my mother. If I had recognized this earlier, I would have cut off my mother's expectations and not let her worry about this matter all the time."

Now, Duan Shumin really regretted it. She didn't expect that this kind of anxiety would cost her mother her life.

She also hated why she had left her mother's room just now. If she had been with her mother the moment she fell ill, she would have been able to save her mother. She had learned how to rescue her, so at least she would have had a chance.

Duan Shuxian sighed, raised her red and swollen eyes and said, "I'm sorry, it's also my fault. I shouldn't have irritated my eldest aunt that day."

Duan Shumin closed her eyes, "What's wrong with you? It's a fact that you love each other, and it's a fact that you're together. There's nothing bad to say."

Duan Shuxian looked at her, stunned in her heart. Sister Min seemed to have calmed down a lot.

Duan Shemin was thrown out of bed. She wanted to send her mother off on her last journey. She owed her the only thing she could do was continue to be her daughter in the next life. At that time, she hoped to live like Duan Shuxian.

She would not kill her beloved mother because of her own ambition.

Duan Shuxian accompanied her out, and it happened that Song Meilan was about to be transported to the place for cremation. Duan Shuxian drove the car and took her to follow the car.

Everyone in the Duan family still couldn't accept the sudden departure of a living person.

Two hours later, Duan Siye came out holding Song Meilan's ashes. His tall and straight figure seemed to have lost its strength, his steps were particularly heavy, and his face was sad.

Duan Shumin stepped forward and said to her eldest brother, "Let me hold you!"

Duan Shuye handed it to her and Duan Shumin held it in his arms. She burst into tears again.

They must store it for three days and take care of other funeral arrangements before welcoming Song Meilan's ashes to rest.

Mr. Duan also fell ill immediately, and Li Yu took care of him at home. Mr. Duan really couldn't understand why his eldest daughter-in-law couldn't figure out why such a thing would happen.

Duan Deliang's sudden loss of his wife made him almost lose confidence in life, and he felt empty inside.

Duan Shuxian returned to Duan's house. At this moment, everyone was immersed in sadness. She sat on a chair in the garden, imagining some of Song Meilan's figures walking around in the garden. Suddenly, her sadness suddenly became a little stronger.

Duan Shemin stood on the top floor, and Duan Siye was worried about her, so he stayed with her.

"Brother, I can't jump. I want my mother to watch me live with peace of mind." Duan Shumin crossed her arms, feeling cold.

Duan Siye stood beside her. He usually showed no emotion or anger, but at this moment, his handsome face was filled with a strong aura of sadness.

No one can accept the sudden loss of a loved one. Even if this is a normal part of life, old age, illness and death, no one can accept it normally if it happens to anyone.

Duan Shumin took a deep breath, "I will never be able to forgive myself in this life."

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

"It's my fault." Duan Shumin accepted the self-blame.

Duan Siye was taking care of Song Meilan's funeral affairs. When those relatives and friends suddenly learned the news, they all lamented the uncertainty of the world. They never expected that the person they had contacted and met a few days ago would suddenly leave.

The funeral will also be held three days later.

Duan Shuxian was sitting in the garden, immersed in some memories. Suddenly, she heard her cell phone ringing. She picked it up, and her heart suffocated.

It was Xi Jingchen calling.

She bit her red lips and answered gently, "Hello!"

Her voice was filled with tears.

"Shu Xian, what's wrong with you?" Xi Jingchen's voice immediately asked with concern, because she could hear her crying.

"I..." Duan Shuxian took a deep breath and said, "My eldest aunt suddenly left."

Xi Jingchen on the other end immediately understood, "Is she your cousin's mother?"

"Yeah!" Duan Shuxian took a breath.

"When did this happen?"

"I left suddenly the night before yesterday."

"So sudden." Xi Jingchen's voice was a little deeper.

"Did you come back?"

"I'll be back tomorrow."

"Okay, then please pay attention to safety on the road." Duan Shuxian didn't know what to talk to him for a moment.

At this moment, her mind was empty, as if she had lost part of her thinking.

"I'll be back tomorrow, and I want to accompany you to her funeral." Xi Jingchen said.
